Law student registered a complain to police, self-proclaimed Alwar based sadhu of inviting her to lick his tongue as part of a ritual before sexually assaulting.
She said, “Maharaj told me I am writing Om on my tongue with honey and you will have to lick it. This is how I have imparted knowledge to many people, the. He then grabbed me…,” the woman alleged in her police report accusing the sadhu of rape.
According to her statement given to police, the woman went to his Alwar ashram on August 7 and planned to return that very day, but Baba asked her to stay the night.
“At about 7.30pm, Baba called me in his room, when I enter in the room he send his disciples out and shut the doors and sat on the bed,” the victim recounted in her complaint.
The “godman” then sexually assaulted the girl. “I went blank and could not react. He told me that he has made many people IAS, IPS and MLA and will make me a judge but asked what I will give him in return.”
“Maharaj then made me lie on the bed and said he was doing all this on instructions from God.”
The FIR comments on the woman’s younger sister. “He said you don’t have a brother and your mother is too old now … I can get you a son if you promise to sleep with me when you get married before consummating your wedding,” the FIR reads.
He also advised me to stay away from boys because young girls are easily misled.
During the assault, the woman wrote in the FIR, there was a knock on the door.
“He hastily arranged his robes and threatened me with dire consequences if I disclosed anything to anyone. I went to another room and cried the whole night,” and next morning his disciples dropped her at the railway station.
After keeping quiet for weeks, the woman told the ordeal to her parents and they filed an FIR.
